Scandi Cool

I think you’d all agree with me when I say my mom outdid herself with these photos. All truth be told, it was such a hassle to get a right shot, since this little alley turned out to be quite a busy one after all. No panic, it took a few minutes waiting for strangers and cars to pass by, however good things come to those who are patient. These photos make me feel like I accomplished the ‘I am a fashion blogger’ aesthetic, why only now after all these years of blogging? I haven’t got the slightest idea. That being said, I am in no way undermining my previous work, I am simply acknowledging growth. Especially, after being offline for a year.

Now lets explain the title shall we? ‘Scandi Cool’, exactly because I saw everybody and their dog parading the streets of Stockholm in these beautiful flared trousers. I, however, couldn’t for the life of me find a pair that fitted me since I am apparently too short to rock anything other than cropped trousers and skinny jeans. No stress, my mother made it her mission to find me the perfect pair, so much that she even went and asked a lovely Brandy Melville employee of a similar height where she had bought her pair. Gina Tricot was the answer, we went, we bought and came to the conclusion that these women must really pull up those trousers! I’m talking the worst camel toe you’ll see in your life! Mad uncomfortable, yes, but beauty, or in this case fashion comes with a price. It is just something about the silhouette that makes me feel like a (Scandinavian) goddess in these trousers!
